Patchwork Death Star Pattern

I was hoping to post this a couple of days ago, but it turns out that I'm not very tech savvy. Thank goodness I finally pulled it together. Here is the link for the pdf file for the free pattern and some instructions.

I have a couple of pictures that I took along the way that I'll post here. If you do make a patchwork Death Star please please please post a link for me to see. If you are on IG, please tag it #patchworkdeathstar. Thanks! I can't wait to see different versions. I originally dreamed of this all in tiny Libery florals. Wouldn't that be cool?

Well anyway, here is a shot of a few of my pieces after glue basting.

And here is a picture of the top half pieced and sitting on top of my first drawing of it.

The final pattern will make an 11x12" block. The perimeter fabric can easily be made larger by extending the paper pattern. The Death Star itself could be made bigger by bringing the pdf printouts to a copy store and enlarging them.

This is really awesome. Thank you so very much for sharing and for making the pattern available. My husband's birthday is in June and I think this will make a perfect gift for him. I do almost all of my EPP projects with Liberty lawns so I think I will dip into the stack of grey Liberty charms that I recently found online for this one.

I just finished my DeathStar. It is my first try at EPP. I looked on you tube for how to do it. Mine turned out kind of wonky. I'm going to try another one. It was so much fun, I was dreaming about it in my sleep.HA! Wish you had a little tute with some good hints....but I'll just keep practicing. Thanks for the pattern.

This was my first time doing EPP and I had such fun! I took your lovely pattern to kinkos and had it blown up to baby quilt size. For the death star itself I used only star wars related fabric and for the background space/planets. Most of the fabric and the thread used to quilt it are glow in the dark.

I don't have a instagram account or flicker account but for those that want to see, I can email a picture to you.

I just made the death star for my grandson. I wanted it to be a wall hanging, so I enlarged it to make the star about 12". Thanks so much for sharing your awesome pattern. You can see my version my blog at http://somanywips.blogspot.com

I found this because my friend made foryoubyjennifersue just made one. I going to make it for my daughter's birthday in September. She's going to just die when she gets it as she is a huge Star Wars fan. Then I'm going to make one for myself! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity!

My first two pieces. A and B and I'm already failing. I am stumped how to sew that curve in the middle and get the pieces to lay flat. Just does not make sense. Anyone able to help? Thank you! If all else fails I'll just have a circle that's not pieced.

If an 11yo were to enlarge this (a lot!) and applique it instead, then enter it in a Jr Beta Quilting Competition, would that be ok? Pattern credits would be listed on the quilt label and it would not ever be sold. If not, we totally understand. I wanted to ask permission first.

Hi Amy Gay. You are set up as a no-reply commenter so I can't reply to your comment by email. I hope you come back to check the comments here. Yes, yes, yes! I've been dying to see this pattern blown up huge! I'd love to see a picture when it's done. Good luck to the 11 year old in your life!

Akkkk!!! I am clueless about the Google thing so I am not surprised I did something wrong. You can email me at squeegeatc at aol dot com. I am also butterflyangelsquilting.com but it has been a while since I posted something quilty. Lofe and kids and all...! But my Kat will be sososo excited!! Thank you!!

We have started on the quilt!! Pattern is enlarged to a 3' square! I am not sure why I am a NoReply, but my email is squeegeatc at aol dot com and my blog is butterflyangelsquilting.com. I will be posting her progress! We hope to get it mostly done over the break.

Hey there!I am just about to try this - a bit... A lot bigger than you so wish me luck. I just started the fabric hunt. Son of a friend got jealous of his sister - I made her a Frozen quilt for birthday. So now I am up for a Star Wars one. As we don't use inches it's always a challenge for me to work with them. And it's veeery difficult to find glue for basting here. And I have actually never tried this paper piecing technique before. Ha yet another challenge.I will send you a photo once it's done. Just tell me - where to? It allows me to leave a written comment only and I actually don't use any social network, just googlemail.Thanks and have a nice Christmas time!
